[Healeys] Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil

[Bob Spidell]

Well, my local parts house--the same one that pulled it off the shelf a 
year or so ago--now has its back on the shelf for ~$7/qt.

It appears this was a bureaucratic overreaction/SNAFU to some 
regulations that may or may not have had an effect, or maybe Valvoline 
changed the formulation to comply.
